AUCKLAND (Māori name, Tamaki Makaurau), also known as “the city of sails” is New Zealand’s largest city with a population of 1,670,000 as at 2023. Auckland has a large number of Polynesian people. Auckland city is a modern, dynamic fast-growing city (population growth 2022-2023 1.7%). The city is frequently rated as one of the world’s most livable cities. Auckland was New Zealand’s capital city for approx. 25 years (from 1842-1865)

THE PORT OF AUCKLAND

Plans are underway to widen and deepen the Port Of Auckland. Currently Auckland port can handle vessels with a 12.7-meter draft, proposed dredging of the port will increase the allowable draft of vessels to 15.2meters. The increased draft will allow larger vessels (like the new PANAMAX) to berth at Auckland Port in the future. The port has two main terminals, Fergusson Container Terminal and Bledisloe Multipurpose terminal. The port is owned by the Auckland City Council; however, the port operates independently.

Auckland is located between two natural harbors. The Port of Auckland is located on Auckland’s doorstep and is the most direct route into the Auckland market. 90 per cent of all in bound cargo is for Auckland – the delivery of goods is quick; the cost of goods is low and our carbon footprint is small because the port is close to the city.
